Exercise rehabilitation is tailored to the characteristics of the disease and the child’s functional status， it involves carrying out active and passive exercise guided by mechanical principles，to improve physical function and fitness. The exercise tolerance and cardiopulmonary function of children with congenital heart disease are lower than those of normal children，and there will be varying degrees of decline after surgery. Exercise rehabilitation is a safe and effective way to promote rapid recovery. This article reviews the implementation process and influencing factors of exercise rehabilitation in children with congenital heart disease，and the exercise rehabilitation can enhance the cardiopulmonary function，improve exercise endurance，improve the quality of life and promote rapid recovery. But the evaluation indicators of exercise tolerance，individualized exercise prescription，out-of-hospital support system and follow-up management of children still need to be further studied and improved.
